From Tango maestro to platform founder

Danceable is led by someone who has lived the realities we’re building for.

Marcelo Solís

World-renowned Tango maestro, dancer, and choreographer

Marcelo was born in Argentina, where the rhythms of Tango are part of everyday life. For more than thirty years, he has immersed himself in Argentine Tango as a dancer, choreographer, and instructor, deeply influenced by his homeland’s rich cultural heritage. His career has taken him across Argentina, the USA, Canada, Europe, and Indonesia, where he has shared his perspective on Tango with countless students.

Marcelo’s teaching emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between music and dance, fostering a deep connection between partners. He views Tango as both a series of steps and a social dance governed by its values and codes. In his classes, improvisation is central. He aims to turn the dance floor into a space of fluid, effortless expression— where technique supports freedom rather than constraining it.

Over decades of teaching, organizing, and collaborating, Marcelo kept seeing the same pattern: the dancing could feel transcendent, but the logistics behind it often felt fragile. Instructors, studios, and organizers were doing serious work with informal systems.

Danceable grew out of that tension: a desire to give the people who make social dance possible tools that respect both the art and the reality of running a business.
